EFFECT PARAMETERS MEASURED
Measurement of dissolved oxygen concentration to calculate oxygen consumption rate: After 3 hours of exposure, the measurement bottle was filled with the test solution promptly and softly with attention to avoid foaming. Afterwards, the concentration of dissolved oxygen (DO) in the test solution was measured continuously for 10 minutes with stirring.
TEST CONCENTRATIONS
- Range finding study: In the preliminary test, three test concentrations of the test material at 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L were prepared, and their percentages of respiration inhibition were -6 %, -10 % and 22 %, respectively, after 3 hours of exposure. The results suggested that EC50 of the test material was higher than 1000 mg/L. Therefore, the test mixture was prepared as a limit test.
- Test concentrations: 1000 mg/L (nominal loading concentration)
- Results used to determine the conditions for the definitive study: Yes.
ESTIMATION OF EC50
- Calculation of percentage inhibition of respiration: solution, and a regression formula was derived from the linear part in the graph. The oxygen consumption rate (mgO2/L/h) was obtained from the absolute value of slope of the regression formula. The percentage inhibition of respiration was then calculated by the following equation:
Percentage inhibition of respiration (%) = (1-RS/RC ) × 100
RS : Oxygen consumption rate in test or reference mixture (mg O2/L/h)
RC : Average oxygen consumption rate in blank control (mg O2/L/h)
- Estimation of EC50: In the test mixture, the EC50 of the test material was estimated as " >1000 mg/L" because less than 50 % of inhibition rate was obtained within the exposure level. In the reference mixture, the percentage inhibition in each exposure level was plotted on a semilogarithmic graph against the corresponding concentration. The EC50 of the reference substance (3,5-dichlorophenol) was calculated from the regression formula obtained by probit analysis. The EC50 was determined using computer program (running on Microsoft software "Excel").
VALIDITY CRITERIA
- The EC50 of 3,5-dichlorophenol as reference item should be between 2–25 mg/L
- The coefficient of variation of the oxygen consumption rate in the blank controls between at the beginning and at the end of the exposure period should be less than 30%
- The oxygen consumption rate per gram (dry weight) of activated sludge per hour in the blank control should be ≥20 mg O2/g/h
Oxygen consumption rate (mg O2/g/h) = [(RC × V) / (SS × VS)] × 1000
RC : Average oxygen consumption rate in blank control (mg O2/L/h)
V : Volume of test solution (L)
SS : Concentration of suspended solid in activated sludge (mg/L)

- Average oxygen consumption rate in blank control: 47.9 mg O2/L/h.
- The average percentage inhibition of respiration of the test mixture at 1000 mg/L was 5 %.

- The coefficient of variation of the oxygen consumption rate in the blank controls between at the beginning and at the end of the exposure period was 4.8 %, and this value met the criterion (less than 30%).
- The oxygen consumption rate per gram (dry weight) of activated sludge per hour in the blank control was average 34.7 mgO2/g/h, and this value met the criterion (≥20 mg O2/g/h). - Results with reference substance (positive control):
- A stock solution of the reference substance was prepared, 3,5-dichlorophenol (100 mg) was accurately weighed with an electronic analytical balance and dissolved in approximately 80 mL of purified water. The pH of this solution was adjusted to 7.5 with 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide solution. And then, this solution was filled up to 100 mL by purified water to obtain 1000 mg/L stock solution of 3,5-dichlorophenol.
The following concentrations of the reference mixture were tested: 4.0, 8.0, 16 and 32 mg/L (geometric series with a factor of 2) with 1 replicate per exposure level. At the nominal concentrations of 4.0, 8.0, 16 and 32 mg/L the oxygen consumption rate was 38.9, 34.6, 16.9 and 5.18 mg O2/L/h respectively. The EC50 was determined to be 11 mg/L. - Validity criteria fulfilled:
- yes
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study the average percentage inhibition of respiration of the test mixture at 1000 mg/L was 5 %, therefore the EC50 of the test material was estimated as >1000 mg/mL (as nominal loading concentration).
- Executive summary:
To determine the 3-hour EC50 of the test material an activated sludge respiration inhibition test was conducted in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 209, under GLP conditions.
In the preliminary test, three test concentrations of the test material at 10, 100 and 1000 mg/L were prepared, and their percentages of respiration inhibition were -6 %, -10 % and 22 %, respectively, after 3 hours of exposure. The results suggested that EC50 of the test material was higher than 1000 mg/L. Therefore, the test mixture was prepared as a limit test, and the test concentration of the test material was carried out at 1000 mg/L as nominal loading concentration. The reference mixture used was 3,5-Dichlorophenol. After 3 hours of exposure, the measurement bottle was filled with the test solution promptly and softly with attention to avoid foaming. Afterwards, the concentration of dissolved oxygen DO) in the test solution was measured continuously for 10 minutes with stirring. The activated sludge was obtained from the aeration reactor of the sewage treatment plant receiving predominantly domestic sewage. This test was valid because all of the values in this test met the criteria. The EC50 of the reference substance was determined to be 11mg/L.
Under the conditions of this study the average percentage inhibition of respiration of the test mixture at 1000 mg/L was 5 %, therefore the EC50 of the test material was estimated as >1000 mg/mL (as nominal loading concentration).
